Nature Knows and Psionic Success

Improve Employee Development by Starting with Yourself.
It’s not a secret that continued development is a defining factor of lasting success. There’s truth in the saying, “what got you here won’t get you there.” Too often, I find that we forget about developing ourselves and being honest with the growth opportunities that we face as leaders. This is why I focus on building a mindset of high-level situational awareness when working with others. Awareness is the foundation in which personal and professional development is built. Leaders often surround themselves with team members who have abilities and skills that compensate for their own weaknesses. That isn’t necessarily a problem, and I support the thought process to build teams with the best talent possible that maximize individual strengths and abilities. However, I will often push leaders to look at themselves and evaluate whether they’re setting the right example for their team members when it comes to their own growth areas. Leaders aren’t perfect–I know, shocker! The moment leaders find peace in imperfection is the moment when true development can take place. Here’s a condensed story about my imperfections and how recognizing them brought comfort and clarity so that I could become a better leader and person. It all started in 2016 when I began partnering with an organizational psychologist during a major company restructuring. Our goal was to aid in assessing current and incoming leaders who were crucial to the success of the reorg. This opportunity to partner with Dr. John Mlinarcik was one that defined my thought process about “development.” It also helped me develop an ability to influence others to drive awareness and clarity. Through awareness, employees can often guide their own growth. Here’s what I learned about myself while working with Dr. John: I’m a “Gregarian.” Gregarians are outgoing and appear adept at knowing what […]
Perimenopause: the symptoms and what to do about it
Anxious? Low? Angry? Exhausted? It might just be the perimenopause. A decade before your body goes through the menopause, you can already feel its impact. But despite the 13 million women in the UK experiencing perimenopause, we’re still not talking about it says Brigid Moss. ‘I can feel the hormonal shifts happening – the sweating, the moods. You’re just like all of a sudden furious for no reason,’ revealed Gwyneth Paltrow recently, instantly volunteering herself as the new face of the perimenopause. I for one, want to thank her for that, not only because it’s happening for so many of us in our 40s and even late 30s (the average age for the perimenopause to start is 45, Gwyneth is 46), but it’s good to hear that even she, insanely privileged and with doctors on tap, can be felled by hormones, too. ‘I think when you get into perimenopause, you notice a lot of changes,’ she announced on a video she filmed for her wellness company Goop . Forever, the menopause has been seen as the beginning of the end, embarrassing, unsexy, a horrible experience. But there’s a sense this is are changing. Menopause is now prime time: Mariella Frostrup has shared her experiences in The Truth About Menopause on the BBC. The previous year, it was Kirsty Wark and Jennifer Saunders. Let’s not pretend, perimenopause needs attention. It currently affects 13 million women in the UK – women maybe like you, or you will become. Symptoms can be way worse than Paltrow’s experience; Meg Mathews tells how she was plunged into anxiety, other women feel flat, depressed, hopeless. According to research from Nuffield Health, up to one in ten women consider quitting their jobs because the symptoms are so debilitating. We need good information: before you get to […]
Is a Walk in the Forest Better Than a Trip to the Doctor?
In the early 1940s, while embroiled in the Second World War, the government of Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King faced a PR problem back home: injured soldiers were being sent to a Toronto cash-register factory that had been hastily converted to house the wounded. Torch , a newspaper for veterans, heaped scorn on what it called the “chief orthopaedic military hospital in Canada.” It described “ramshackle, inflammable additions” and observed that the vets lacked adequate light or recreational areas. The Canadian government had asked the City of Toronto for land to erect a new facility. Milton Gregg, minister of veterans’ affairs, called for “rural surroundings (that) can have a beneficial effect upon morale.” In 1948, Mackenzie King opened Sunnybrook Hospital, then the largest hospital in Canada, on a forested plateau north of downtown. Sunnybrook’s principal architect, Hugh L. Allward, noted that “a clear-running stream adds charm to a broad valley available to patients and their friends.” The founders of Sunnybrook recognized something ancient and intuitive: the healing power of forests. Seventy years on, a quest for bigger and better buildings (and more parking) has driven Sunnybrook’s patients and staff further and further from nature. But, even as Sunnybrook pushes green space to its margins, researchers elsewhere have proven the value of therapeutic landscapes. Clinical trials show that time spent in the forest can boost white blood cells, which can attack tumours, improve cardiovascular health, reduce stress, and lift depression. The Japanese call this shinrin-yoku , or forest bathing. In Canada, during a typical forest bath, participants stroll through groves and sometimes lean against trees. They feel rocks and smell soil. They lie down on carpets of pine needles. It sounds like a hippie fad—but it might also be a simple, low-cost way to address some of the challenges […]

Human brain genes implanted into monkeys to make them smarter
*Hard work really does pay off as scientists find grit, determination does lead to better grades, higher achievement in school A new study into the unique evolution of human intelligence has raised ethical concerns after Chinese scientists implanted human brain genes into monkeys to boost their development. Researchers inserted human versions of MCPH1, a gene that scientists believe plays a role in the development of the human brain, into 11 rhesus monkeys. They found the monkeys’ brains — like those of humans — took longer to develop, and the animals performed better in tests of short-term memory as well as reaction time compared to wild monkeys.However, the monkeys did not grow bigger brains than the control group.The test, the latest in a series of biomedical experiments in China to have fuelled medical ethics debates, has already drawn ethical concerns, and comparisons with dystopian sci-fi ‘Planet of the Apes’. It was conducted by researchers at the Kunming Institute of Zoology and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, working with US researchers at the University of North Carolina.The study was published last month in Beijing-based journal National Science Review.“Our findings demonstrated that transgenic nonhuman primates (excluding ape species) have the potential to provide important — and potentially unique — insights into basic questions of what actually makes human unique,” the authors wrote. The monkeys underwent memory tests requiring them to remember colours and shapes on a screen, and were subjected to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans.Only five of the monkeys survived into the testing stage.The authors said the rhesus monkey, though genetically closer to humans than rodents, is still distant enough to alleviate ethical concerns. However, some questioned the ethics of the experiment.“You just go to the ‘Planet of the Apes’ immediately in the popular imagination,’ said Jacqueline Glover, a University of […]
How (properly) wasting time at work increases productivity
by Aytekin Tank If you’ve ever watched a professional tennis match, you know how much stamina the sport requires. From thigh slaps to squats to light jumps, players will do just about anything to maintain their high energy and laser-focus. A crucial part of the match, however, occurs in the brief pause between games: the 90-second changeover break, when players rest before switching sides. Watch closely, and you’ll see how players make the most of these precious moments: burying their heads under a towel to meditate, changing their racquets, or fueling up on water and energy drinks. Some players, like the great Serena Williams, have even sipped a quick coffee before returning to the court. Whatever their method, these pro athletes understand the value of a break. A brief reprieve can provide a fresh surge of energy and motivation for the next game. Much like a tennis match, the workday can also be a daunting mental and physical challenge, especially if you want to perform your best throughout the day. In addition to finding your optimal work hours, taking multiple breaks can increase your productivity all day long. I’ll repeat that for emphasis: Taking breaks can increase productivity. Our workaholic culture and the business epidemic tend to villainize time-wasting behaviors during work — like leisurely lunches and web browsing — but research proves that breaks can enhance your performance, on many levels. Brief periods of distraction have been shown to improve both decision-making and creativity. On the other hand, prolonged attention to a single task can actually hinder performance. Pulling an all-nighter for one assignment? Not such a good idea after all. There’s also evidence that waking periods of mental rest can improve memory formation. Apparently, during rest periods, your brain reviews and ingrains what it previously learned. Without […]

E-biking can improve mental health and wellbeing in older people
E-biking is beneficial for the over 50 population ( iStock ) Getting on your bicycle can give you an enormous sense of freedom and enjoyment. It can increase your independence and knowledge of the local area, and improve your access to the natural (or urban) environment. It can also be highly nostalgic – reminding you of your childhood cycle rides and the joy of being young. But beyond the feelgood factor, can cycling actually make any difference to mental abilities and wellbeing? This was something our new study aimed to investigate – specifically looking at cycling among older adults . While most studies incorporate exercise in a gym situation, our study wanted to examine the impact of cycling in the real world – outside a controlled environment. So older adults, aged 50 and above, were asked to cycle for at least an hour and a half each week for an eight-week period. Participants either cycled on a conventional pedal bike , on an electrically assisted “ e-bike ” or were instructed to maintain their regular non-cycling exercise routine as a comparison group. Mental abilities, mental health and wellbeing were measured before and after the eight-week cycling period. Ford joins Frankfurt automakers in debuting e-bike Mental boost Exercise is thought to improve mental functioning through increased blood flow to the brain – as well as encouraging regrowth of cells, specifically in the hippocampus. This is known to be an area associated with memory. So it was expected that the greater physical exertion required for pedal cycling, compared to cycling an e-bike with a motor, would result in greater benefits to mental functioning. One of the tasks we used to measure mental ability is the “ Stroop test ”. The task involves participants being shown the name of a colour printed […]
Should You Try the Mediterranean Diet? We Examine the Evidence
— Please Note: This article is presented for informational purposes only and is not meant to diagnose or treat any illness. If you have any health concern, see a licensed healthcare professional in person. The Mediterranean diet has long been touted as one of the best. In fact, U.S. News and World Report named it the best diet overall compared to 41 different diets. The Mediterranean diet was also named the best plant-based diet, best diet for healthy eating, best diet for diabetes, and easiest diet to follow. Some studies even suggest it can help you live longer ( 1 , 2 ). But is this diet really the best diet for you? Here, we take a closer look at the origins of the diet and the current scientific evidence to see if the Mediterranean diet is all it’s cracked up to be. What is the Mediterranean Diet? The Mediterranean diet is a largely plant-based diet that draws from food traditions from countries along the Mediterranean coast. Origins of the Mediterranean Diet The Mediterranean diet has been studied for decades, but it’s only became popular in non-Mediterranean countries since the 1990s. It was first introduced with the Seven Countries Study , an international epidemiological study that began in 1958 and is still active today. The study, led by Dr. Ancel Keys, linked traditional Mediterranean diets (and specifically diets that include large amounts of olive oil ) with reduced risk for coronary heart disease ( 3 , 4 ). Keys and his wife published their findings on traditional Mediterranean diets and heart health in 1975. Dr. Keys remained a Mediterranean diet advocate and an active researcher for much of his life. He died just before his 101st birthday. The Mediterranean diet as we know it today isn’t necessarily the same […]
High-fat foods you should be eating more of (they’re actually really good for you)
( Natural News ) Contrary to popular belief, fats could be healthy, depending on its source. For example, fats from processed foods, fried foods, and baked goods are harmful to your health. On the other hand, fats found in natural foods are actually healthy and nutritious. Here are some of the healthy high-fat foods you need to include in your diet. Avocados: Commonly used in making guacamole, avocados are rich in healthy fats and can fight inflammation, which is linked to cardiovascular disease. Studies show that eating avocados can regulate your cholesterol, blood pressure, and triglyceride levels. In addition, you need to consume healthy fats for your body to absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. However, when eating avocados, keep your overall calorie intake in mind, as one avocado contains about 320 calories. (Related: Top 8 Healthy Fats to Include in any Diet, be it Muscle Building or Weight Loss .) Olive oil: Many studies show that olive oil can lower your risk for cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. It contains compounds called oleic acid and secoiridoid that slow the aging process. When buying olive oil , choose extra virgin olive oil because it is extracted using natural methods. Fatty fish: Fatty fish – such as anchovies, herring, salmon, and sardines – contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for keeping your brain healthy and fighting inflammation and chronic disease. Eggs: Eggs are thought to increase cholesterol levels, but research has proven that cholesterol from eggs does not really affect a person’s cholesterol levels. In fact, eating eggs for breakfast can make you feel full and satisfied for longer periods. Nuts: Nuts are rich in nutrients like amino acids, vitamin E, and unsaturated fatty acids. Research shows that eating an ounce serving of nuts every day can […]
Omega-3s are a potent way to treat depression without resorting to dangerous prescription medications
( Natural News ) There are many natural ways to remedy poor mood and depression that do not involve the use of pharmaceutical drugs. One of these alternative approaches is to eat larger amounts of healthy foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Scientific research shows that the intake of omega-3 fatty acids in a diet influences the risk of depression. People who eat more omega-3-rich foods appear to have lower risks of falling into a depressed mood. The fatty acids achieve their natural antidepressant effects through several means. Omega-3s can raise the activity of CNS seratonin, reduce the risk and severity of inflammation, and stop phosphatidyl-inositol from sending signals that bring about depressive moods. They can even increase the variations between heartbeats. (Related: Omega-3 supplementation lessens symptoms of depression in people with chronic heart failure .) The natural, healthy equivalent of today’s antidepressant drugs Furthermore, omega-3 fatty acids seem to stop immune cells from releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines in the brain. This is similar to the means by which selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) and tricyclic antidepressant drugs improve the mood of patients suffering from depression . The acute phase of severe depressed mood has been observed to cause a spike in the release of cytokines. When those inflammation-causing molecules reach the brain, they disrupt the carefully regulated metabolism of serotonin in the organ. The disruption reflects changes in the mood of depressed individuals.

Running Makes My Stress Melt Away, So I Asked a Doctor If There’s Actually a Link
Group of diverse adult females trail running as the sun sets behind them Cardio used to be the be-all, end-all of my fitness routine. Specifically, running. It wasn’t until an injury sidelined me (turns out your knees don’t love running five miles a day) that I found high-intensity interval training (HIIT), weight training, and swimming. Changing up my fitness routine helped me get the physical results I wanted and I eventually realized that I didn’t actually have to run to maintain my fitness. Yet, there was one major reason why quitting altogether was never an option. It has to do with mental health, namely stress relief and overall sanity. In terms of keeping me calm and relieving stress, nothing is more effective than running. That goes for the good runs, when my body is in perfect sync, nothing hurts, and my mind gets to wander without a care in the world, and the bad ones, when my Achilles starts pinging, my knees ache, my sides cramp, and I’m grumpy and unfocused. One is more enjoyable, but they both leave me noticeably calmer than when I started. They both make my problems seem smaller, more manageable, and less important. Why Does Running Relieve Stress? Running is often touted as a way to relieve stress , and the deeper mental health benefits of cardio, and especially running, are just starting to be explored. One recent study, performed on mice, actually showed a possible connection between cardio and dementia prevention . But it’s one thing to read about mental benefits and another to experience them for yourself. It’s the ultimate brain hack. Really? All I have to do to feel better is go for a run? According to Douglas Noordsy, MD, a sports psychologist at Stanford Health Care, it’s based in biology. […]
These Plant Based Fragrances Are Designed To Spark Positivity And Good Vibes
This post is brought to you by Plant Therapy , the essential oil experts. The opinions and info presented here are completely our own. Have you ever smelled something that instantly makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? It’s no secret that scents and the way we respond to them is a powerful thing. They can energize us, help us to focus or feel relaxed, comfort us and even affect our emotions. And what about the way a scent can instantly connect us to a memory as if it were yesterday? For me, the smell of freshly baked apple pie can instantly transport me back to my grandmother’s kitchen, while the salty sea air is an eternal reminder of my childhood home on the water. So, how is it we’re so deeply connected to scent? It all has to do with our brains. While senses like sight, hearing, touch and taste are processed in the “thinking” part of our brain, scent molecules are sent to the olfactory bulb instead. The olfactory bulb happens to also be directly linked to the part of the brain that stores memories and processes emotions. But the real power these scents hold over us lies within our brain’s ability to connect scents to the memories stored there. When we’re repeatedly exposed to a specific scent along with a meaningful person, place, thing or experience that our brain creates these scent paired memories that can be strikingly vivid. Referred to as conditioned learning, it’s the same reason why the smell of apple pie fondly reminds me of my grandmother or the smell of a the salty sea air can instantly transport me back to my childhood home on the water where I would spend my summers swimming, boating and fishing. It’s this incredible emotional […]

Should You Be Taking Nootropics for a Brain Boost?
Ask Keri: Do nootropics really work to boost mental health and performance? Keri says: Nootropics are substances that are said to give your brain a boost in ways that may improve focus, creativity, memory, alertness, and even intelligence. They’re suddenly everywhere, and they’re super popular. While some of the substances have been associated with specific results via scientific research, others are promoted for benefits that are largely unproven. The truth is: it’s a really tricky category to evaluate because it encompasses a really wide, often unregulated range of substances—from naturally occurring antioxidants to amino acids to prescription drugs—and people take them in a million combinations that haven’t been tested. Here’s what you need to know. What Are Nootropics and Who’s Taking them? The term nootropic refers to any substance that changes your brain functioning in a way that provides a benefit. Something as prevalent as caffeine, then, is considered a nootropic, as is l-theanine, a compound in green tea. Herbs like ginkgo biloba qualify, so do adaptogens like ashwagandha. There are synthetic nootropics like noopept, piracetim, and phenotropil, and drugs like Ritalin and Adderall are also in the mix. Nootropic enthusiasts, many of whom are Silicon Valley biohackers like Bulletproof founder Dave Asprey, take various combinations of nootropics to increase their performance at work, experimenting with which tighten focus, keep them awake and alert during long meetings, or get creative juices flowing. The process of combining them into different mixes is called stacking, and now, companies have started taking those different mixes and selling them as nootropic cocktails (in supplement form). HVMN makes a few different supplements, like Sprint, that promises to put you in “the ideal mental flow state to get the job done.” TruBrain makes nootropic shots you order in monthly packs that “upgrade working memory” and […]
6 Chinese Yam (Nagaimo) Benefits + Nutrition & Side Effects
A staple of traditional Chinese medicine, this long tuber is used to increase female fertility and manage diabetes. Is it right for you? Read on to learn more about the benefits of Chinese yam. Chinese yam is a climbing vine native to China that is currently widespread throughout East Asia. Although this herb has medical advantages, it also carries major drawbacks for the environment; it can quickly invade habitats and may reduce plant diversity. It was brought to the United States in the 1800s and has spread across the country since [ R ]. Chinese yam root ( which may also be called a tuber or rhizome ) was traditionally combined with other herbs to manage diabetes , improve women’s reproductive health , and support digestive health [ R , R , R ]. People in China eat the roots as a mild tonic food, along with other yams. Japanese people call it “ nagaimo ,” which translates to “long yam” [ R , R ]. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners claim that Chinese yam can restore the vital energy, called qi. According to them, Chinese yam increases yin, which is often linked to feminine qualities. It is considered to stimulate the spleen, lungs, and kidneys. The official scientific name of Chinese yam is Dioscorea polystachya . However, some sources report it as D. opposita or even D. villosa , the latter of which is a different species called wild yam. Unlike Chinese yam, wild yam and Mexican yam are commonly used to make bioidentical hormones ( estrogen and progesterone ) used in menopausal therapy [ R , R , R , R ].

Five key ideas you need to understand now if you want to be ready for the world of 2030
With a new series of the BBC science podcast Futureproofing on air this month, presenter Timandra Harkness explains how to get ready for the world of the future. Just a building that keeps the rain out and your clean underwear in? Think again. The home of 2030 will be smart, connected and emotional. “Our notion of home will change drastically,” says Sce Pike, CEO of Oregon-based IOTAS. “The notion of home is no longer four walls and a roof and a place, a location, but actually something that travels with you throughout your life.” How does it do that? By learning your preferences and your habits, and automatically adjusting the light, heat, even your TV channels, before you have to ask. “It’s about how that home reacts to you and makes you comfortable,” says Pike. We will probably move house more often in 2030, from necessity and choice, but we’ll feel at home more quickly as smart technology restores our familiar surroundings and routines seamlessly. Even an overnight stay for work could pick up from where you left off, assuming your hotel or AirBnB is running the same system. Using our homes to communicate with each other will also be useful as we all get older. We want to be independent, but our families worry about us. Pike is using technology to help with that too. “We’ve set up a system where, if my parents don’t make coffee every day between a certain time window, then the home will just text me to call my Mom. It doesn’t have to tell me why, so it’s not violating their privacy in any way, but I know that something’s off.” Independence may come at the cost of somebody knowing your private business, whether it’s your family, a carer, or just the […]
Omega-3s found to benefit a person’s behavioral and cognitive processes
( Natural News ) Omega-3 fatty acids are believed to play a role in many different fundamental brain processes . These essential fatty acids have been associated with proper brain development and functioning of the central nervous system. In a recent study published in the journal Food Science and Human Wellness, a team of researchers from the University of Regensburg in Germany sought to determine the effects of omega-3 deficiency on attention functions and impulsive behavior in rats. In addition, the research team looked at the effects of a diet that includes adequate omega-3 fatty acids in rats deficient on the nutrient on the same behavioral domains. The team found that omega-3 fatty acids indeed play a role in cognitive and behavioral processes. In particular, they found that adding omega-3 fatty acids to one’s diet improves attention and impulsive behavior. In the study, the research team fed rats with an omega-3 deficient diet over several generations, and the dams of the seventh generation were randomly assigned to two diet groups and a received an omega-3 deficient or an omega-3 sufficient diet. In addition, they fed a group of previously untreated dams with an omega-3 sufficient diet. After these, the researchers assessed the attention and impulsive behavior of the male offspring of these three diet groups. The results showed that the deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids over generations led to significant changes in the attention parameters and impulsive behaviors of rats. The treatment with the omega-3 sufficient diet also partially corrected the impairments associated with an omega-3 deficiency. 100% organic essential oil sets now available for your home and personal care, including Rosemary, Oregano, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Clary Sage and more, all 100% organic and laboratory tested for safety.

Eat fatty fish three times a week and take omega-3 supplements to significantly boost your heart health, suggest researchers
( Natural News ) Omega-3 fatty acids have been getting good press for years: They’re good for your brain, they fight depression and anxiety, and they can even help reduce inflammation. Now, research shows that getting ample amounts of these vital nutrients promote substantial improvements in heart health. While the American Heart Association may have changed its weekly fish recommendations to just one or two portions per week, experts say that more is probably better — especially if you’re looking to boost heart health. A recently published study finds that in order to achieve maximum cardioprotective benefits, people should strive for an Omega-3 Index Level of eight percent or higher. Many people tend to take a “one-size-fits-all” approach to nutrition, but lead researcher Kristina Harris Jackson, Ph.D., R.D., contends that making blanket dietary recommendations are no longer good enough to meet individual nutritional needs. Do you need more omega-3s in your life? Published in the journal Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes, and Essential Fatty Acids , Jackson and her team examined blood levels of two omega-3 fatty acids and took dietary surveys, to take a deeper look at what constitutes adequate fish consumption. Results were gathered from nearly 3,500 participants. As Integrative Practitioner reports , the researchers found that people who reported no fish intake and taking no supplements had an average Omega-3 Index of 4.1 percent. According to reports, this measure is on par with the average omega-3 levels seen in America.

The Power Within by Corey Daniels book available for only $2.99
Mind has both conscious and subconscious halves. These are likened to a driver and the truck he drives. The driver plans the destination and observes road conditions, while the truck provides motive power. Your subconscious mind is like the truck and it only goes in the direction in which is a steered. This can be the road or off a cliff. Likewise, the consciousness paints a picture of what the world is and what your goals are and the subconscious acts on them through emotion, physical response and energy, whether these are correct, rational images or false negative ones. The subconscious is also like an emotional reservoir which your body and mind draw responses from to external stimuli.
The Power Within lays out a method of programming your subconscious and tapping into the Holy Spirit, God voice or what the Greeks called the daimon (godman).
